Hi all - Last week I posted about my 1st Rip & Repair purchase (black/ginger) bag. I loved it so much I went a bit insane and purchased the larger black/white version which arrived today. I must admit, some criticism of this bag (baseball, etc.) made me doubt whether I'd like it but I LOVE it! The white is not as "BAM!" as I thought it would be...the Coach dimension comparisons of the medium vs. large made it seem like it wouldn't be that much bigger, but this one definitely holds more and will do so very comfortably. Has all the same pockets, hardware, etc. The white does go underneath but I'm pretty good with my bags and I am up to the task of keeping it clean which I doubt will be a huge issue as I rarely put any of my purses on really dirty surfaces. On this one, the front stitch stuck straight out so I literally just pulled it in from the underside (which you can tell in the one pic) so that eliminated that! I have kept the stitch out on my ginger one b/c it's relaxed more and it doesn't bother me. Granted, I haven't cut the tags or taken her out on a test run yet, but at first blush, I think she's definitely a keeper! Hope you enjoy the pics. Let me know if you have any questions.

Congrats on your black and white one -- it is a stunning and sharp-looking bag. It looks quite a bit bigger than the ginger/black one -- I thought it would only be 1 inch taller and 2 inch wider and same depth. Also didn't realize the pebbling is different (on the ginger one, the black is smooth whereas on the white/black one, the black is pebbled). So you love the black/white one too? That's great! Two lovely bags you have. Enjoy!
BTW, still waiting for mine -- due to arrive tomorrow.

I thought the same thing about the sizing, based on the Coach dimensions. I havent measured it to see how off they were but it will hold quite a bit more. I'd say slightly more room than a med Dakotah but organized much more with the many compartments. You are right about the switch in the leather; the small has pebbled leather on the ginger whereas on the large, all the black is pebbled. I was very happy that the back of the bag is all black as that is really where I have had issues with color transfer onto purses from jeans, etc.
I will really be interested to see what you think when yours arrives...I'm excited for you!
I love how these look so unique - they will be showstoppers and conversation pieces, but fun at the same time - enjoy them both!
Definitely looks roomier than the smaller version you have, i love all the pockets and organization of these bags. Certainly a unique, unusual piece!
On a whim I put my black cherry feather fob on here and I think I really like it. Thoughts? I think I'll probably use the black/ginger in the fall months before we here in the northeast have to throw coats on then use the black/white more b/c just about every coat of mine is black
